that's true: just remember the massacre of the priests at Bydgoszcz, a small town.

The Germans were the biggest enemies of Poland, not only the Jewish people.

to this endless blame-game.
It'll never end, so it seems.
Do we need it in order to thrive as Jewish nation in our Land?
I know I don't.

hitler did not invent jew hatred.
jew hatred had existed for over a thousand years and was practiced and
encouraged by the catholic church and catholic monarchs.
we should never forget the inquisition of catholic spain or the various
expulsions of jews from catholic europe.

it must be also remembered that the nazi leadership hated catholics
because catholicism had jewish roots.

have been no Holocaust...IT IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"sins" of mankind and as a reward was resurrected after 3 days....today even a kindergarten child can only laugh out loud about such most IDIOTIC nonsense !
The secret of the Church is its TOTAL IDIOCY !!!!!!!

Not three months into Adolf Hitler’s tenure as chancellor of Germany, on Easter Week 1933, a few minutes after five o'clock in the afternoon of Wednesday, April 12, the eve of the days of mourning for the deicide of Jesus Christ by the Jews, four Jews were executed at the Konzentrationslager Dachau recently opened near the Bavarian hamlet of Prittlbach.

Those four men - Arthur Kahn, Ernst Goldmann, Rudolf Benario and Erwin Kahn - were selected by Hans Steinbrenner, an SS officer known for his brutality, after which a platoon of SS men marched the four out of the camp walls, into the nearby forest, and shot them.

On that same April evening in 1933, Joseph Hartinger, a local prosecutor, received a call that four men had been shot attempting to flee the detention facility. It was the Hartinger's job to investigate all deaths resulting from "unnatural causes." When Hartinger arrived the blood was still damp on the ground. When he reported that a serial killing of Jews had taken place, his superior responded unequivocally: "not even the Nazis would do that." The investigation was terminated.

As is well known, the Germans of the time were mostly Catholics and Lutherans. There were also atheists and agnostics but, because they were linked to socialist and anarchist parties, had no place within the SS, where the most basic tenet was faith in the Fuhrer - God.

For the benefit of the German people, I consider it likely that, like Hartinger, some of the executioners would have doubts of conscience about what has just happened, a crime unprecedented in German history since Frederick the Great.

Both Catholics and Lutherans were obliged to practice the sacrament of confession, during which the doubts of conscience are submitted to the opinion of the clergy, who advise what is most convenient for the salvation of souls.

The first consequence of what I have just said is that both Catholics and Lutherans were comforted and encouraged by the clergy to continue their holy work.

The second consequence, as much or more terrible than the previous one, is that those clerics consulted with their bishops how to proceed before those murders, who in turn consulted their respective archbishops and cardinals.

His Holiness Pope Pius XII learned that those executions had occurred only a few hours after they had happened, and then he was informed daily about the accelerated rate of executions that have since taken place. Therefore, the final moral responsible for the Holocaust, was Pope Pius XII for having allowed his clerics to forgive such abominable crimes.

The exact number of Jews who died during the terrible years between 1933 and 1945 is known only to the Vatican. But they will never reveal it, they are secrets of confession after all.

Given the extreme gravity of these undeniable facts, what the documents that the Vatican declassifies say is absolutely irrelevant.

Why?
What did they hide?

for Catholicism... :-)

Vatican execs playing a game of conferences instead of correcting sexual abuses by priests and complicity in death of Jews. if I were Jesus I would not approve. the corporation has become more important than the product.

From 1939 on, Pope Pius XII was involved in the conspiracy to assassinate Hitler. The members of that conspiracy asked Pius XII not to speak out publicly against Hitler because that made the Nazis that much more suspicious of them and of the Pope, and made it more likely the Nazis would uncover their plot. See the historical details in my book on amazon.com, Vatican Rescue, 2 volumes. Also see the National Geographic TV presentation about this in September 2016, "Pope vs. Hitler".
